I’ve been going to CSL for about 10 years 2 days a week.

I have donated over 300 times and every visit is stress free and absolutely worth it. The staff is always welcoming and very helpful if you have any questions. I very highly recommend donating here. As of writing this the current pay rate is $50 first visit in a week and $60 second visit the same week. First time donors get a joining bonus usually around $100 for the first few visits.

Most of the staff are simply amazing. A few people are there to work and could use more technical training, but I haven’t had any issues. 4 stars mostly because 1L of plasma is worth $500 to biotech industry and it only takes about $150 of overhead to extract the plasma (including rent, lights, direct compensation, etc.). That leaves the CSL corporation with $$350 of pure profit per donor. People selling their plasma deserve more pay.

I was just permanently deferred because the staff did not correctly document my tattoos. I’m very frustrated. I’ve been a donor for 3 years, and quite honestly I am in shock that they would want to waste 15 containers of plasma. It’s a disgrace. Those patients need the plasma I donated and they’re going to destroy it.

Big needles but they don’t hurt. Don’t ever feel them going in. Great staff, most are very nice, kind, funny and caring. Just make sure you don’t eat fatty foods before you go or you may have to much fat in your blood. You won’t be allowed to donate till the next day if so. They test for that and your temperature can’t be over 99. Your 1st visit they will also do a physical examination to make sure your healthy. Also they require you wear a mask as per the Mayor of Duluth.

After 7.5 years of donating faithfully at this location, I am now told that I am permanently deferred due to a miscommunication and an incorrect diagnosis from one specialist that has recently been rectified by another specialist. Upon attempting to have a form filled out by my doctor, I have found out the truth of how little donors are cared about here. I have been treated so badly by two of the nurses at this facility that I will be following up my case with a lawyer. Donors are not being completely informed of the risks involved and how quickly we can find out that donors are considered dispensable as human beings. Don’t be fooled by the fake smiles… some of the employees are great but there are a few that will turn on you like a rabid animal for reasons unknown.

Most of the staff is friendly and experienced, there are of course a couple of staff that are all about the job but there are also a few that make sure to treat you like a person and be pleasant. The facility is clean and the staff has a good grip on what they need to do to run smoothly.

Great place to go if you want to make some pretty good money for laying in a bed with a needle in your arm two hours a week. If you know your blood type and have a RH- blood type (A-, O-, B-, or AB-) ask about their “Anti-D” program. If you are accepted, you can get up to an additional $50 over the standard donation payout (depending on your antibody production level). For example, I am in the highest tier of the Anti-D program and I get a minimum of $110 every time I donate. That is $220 a week to lay in a bed for an hour twice a week. Not to mention that there are extra bonus payouts on your 6th, 7th, and 8th donations in a month even for “standard” donors.

I have been there twice to try and donate plasma for the first time. I had called on the phone a head of time to make sure I had everything I need for becoming a new donor. The lady on the phone told my if I did not have social security card that I could bring a copy with me. So I brought a copy that my parents sent to me. Once I got there they turned me away because it was not a picture of my social and it was a copy. *Make sure you have a picture and not a copy of the card.* Then when I went back the second time the process took about 2 hours just to do the prerequisite things in order to donate. Finally I was able to see the nurse that gives you an exam before they will take your plasma. Although while seeing the nurse she turned me away because I was not 100% sure what the brand two of my medications were. One of the medications was an inhaler but I didn’t know the EXACT brand. After being turned away for the second time I asked if I would have to repeat the entire process over and they told me that I would have to. I would like to donate plasma although there process is quite long and the nurse was not very kind. To try and donate for a third time I would only assume would take the same amount of time. Not sure it’s worth the effort.
